Just picked up my Rota Torque R's from mistanime. These totally changed the look of the subie and handles way differently!

Hope to have the tien springs on soon as it sits to tall stock

That offset is entirely too low. And Teins will further destroy your handling and hasten an end to your struts.

I'm planning to go coilovers eventually with rolled and pulled fenders. This offset is perfect for the look I am trying to achieve

With a fender roll/pull and slammed with the right camber adjustment, it will be damn near flush hopefully I am also a huge fan of the stretched look which these currently have.

GL with it, if you slam it make sure you get RCA's because your rear camber will be f'd.

Thanks, they're long gone now. I believe I traded them about a year ago.

I now have Rota Tarmac II's with a much less aggressive offset.

I'm actually going back to 18x9 Linea Corse Lemans next week with Nitto Invo 235/40zr18. I'm also going with BC Coilovers to replace the Teins that are currently on the subie now.

Too bad those teins don't fit my year. I like the drip they have you.
